I suppose another question is this all worth it? Meaning, is the L with 65 foot 
vertical leg with proper ground going to greatly outperform the L with 35 foot 
vertical leg ?

Thanks everyone ! Interesting. I knew something was not quite right. I thought 
I could "tap" into the existing ground system but obviously that is not going 
to be the case. I could manage two elevated radials pretty easily but not at 10 
ten feet. More like 6 feet off the ground mounted on my 6 foot high wooden 
privacy fence. Can I lay down radials more over top of the old ones?

Have you considered elevated radials? Four of them 10' high (or even two!) 
would be MUCH better than what you have right now.
